Is your head spinning? Are you in a daze? I'm quivering with anxiety and just five minutes ago typed "erection night" accidentally. I'm hoping my ballot actually got scanned (I didn't see it go into the machine with my own eyes) and I'm worried somewhat that my favorite astrologer Susan Miller is predicting that there may be unexpected results: maybe someone will win the popular vote, and someone else will win the electoral college? (Mercury went retrograde today at 7pm.) But! Nate Silver crunched the numbers and as of right now, he claims there's a 90% chance that Obama will win.

Meanwhile, we're monitoring Twitter (which might crash), blogs, TV networks and phone calls from Mom to bring you the very latest in election night news. Keep checking back, and also let us know how you're spending election night: Are you drinking? Are you watching TV? What channel are you watching? Are you scared? Excited? Exhausted??? I'll be updating and adding news below.

Almost all of Mr. Romney's advantage can be explained by one county, Wake County, in North Carolina's Research Triangle. President Obama won it by 64,000 votes in 2008. This year, Mr. Romney leads by 2,000 votes so far.

9:42pm
Text from coworker Madeleine: "I am eating whiskey."
Text from friend in California: "I especially want Obama to win in every state where Republicans made efforts to keep poor, minority people from voting."

UPDATE: 100s still standing in line to vote in Miami area, many in places w/o access to restrooms: flpbd.it/UOHwu

BTW did you see what Bill O'Reilly has been up to tonight? Basically, poor people want stuff, and Obama will give it to them. Not sure what kind of "stuff" he means, maybe freedom of choice? Equal rights? That kind of stuff?

9:01pm
Obama projected to win Michigan, New York, New Jersey. CNN showing Obama headquarters, where there is much cheering, some jumping up and down. Romney still ahead in terms of projected electoral votes.

We're tracking the individual counties as they come in from that state, particularly those where there is a decent amount of Election Day votes reported, rather than just absentee ballots. Throughout the state, the vote tallies are coming in about exactly as you would expect in a tied race.

8:42pm
Romney is projected to win Alabama. This means he could now have 82 electoral votes. EIGHTY TWO. Do you have your gynecologist on speed dial?

8:31pm
Romney is projected to win Arkansas and Tennessee. This bumps him up, he now has more electoral votes than Obama. Romney has 73, the President has 64. Deep breaths, people. DEEP BREATHS.

8:18pm
Nate Silver has some news for you, and it might make you break out into a clammy sweat:

So far, however, Democrats also have an edge in the party identification numbers in the exit polls. In Ohio, 38 percent of voters identified as Democratic in the exit poll as compared with 31 percent of Republicans. And in Virginia, Democrats had a 37-to-33 advantage in party identification. These numbers are similar to what many pre-election polls showed.

Mitt Romney is not necessarily poised to lose, however: he led President Obama among independents in both the Ohio and Virginia exit polls. It may be that some conservative-leaning voters are identifying as independent rather than Republican in the surveys, but still voting for Mr. Romney.

8:14
Now Wolf says 64-56, Obama/Romney.

8:08pm
I guess I will order some food. In the immortal words of Karen Carpenter, we've only just begun.

he's already shelled out $10,000 to 500 voters stranded by the storm ... in order to help them make it to the polls… The money was intended to help voters who were hit hard by last week's disaster to pay for gas or another form of transportation in order to cast their ballot.

And get this — Game says he's so committed to the cause ... he even helped shuttle people to the polls in his own car.

7:12pm
Okay, CNN is projecting that Mitt Romney will win Kentucky, while President Obama will win Vermont.

7:06pm
I have CNN on in the picture-in-picture. Maps and graphs and maps and graphs. Mind-numbing.

7:00pm
Okay, for now I am watching NBC. The soothing brows of Brian Williams. The first closings! Virginia: Too close to call. BITE YOUR NAILS. Indiana: Romney. Kentucky: Romney. South Carolina: Too early to call. Vermont: Obama is the projected winner. Georgia: Too early to call. These are projections, obviously!

6:38pm
Apparently Mitt Romney has not written a concession speech. He has, however, written a victory speech. Interesting. I'm so superstitious, I would think it was bad luck to write either one. Like buying baby furniture before the kid is born.

6:36pm
Don Cheadle has something to say:

Waiting to vote? Stay in line! As long as you're in line before the polls close, you can still vote.

I want to thank you all again for the reception you gave me in August for my AMA. Good questions. Definitely not bad.
I'm checking in because polls will start closing in this election in just a few hours, and I need you to vote.

And look, LOOK at this adorable picture we saw on Getty:
